    How about we tie the ability to serve in the government to being below retirement age period?

      I think we should tie it to life expectancy. “No person may be a candidate for office if their age at the end of their term would exceed 90% of the median US life expectancy.”

      It would keep politicians younger and motivate them to make policies that improve life expectancy. Win-win.

      Do you want them to raise the age of retirement? Because they’ll make you work till you’re a thousand before they all quit en masse.
